Reinhardt University Athletics

Reinhardt competes in the NAIA, which sits between NCAA Division I and III with athletic scholarships but smaller crowds than major college sports. The Eagles field 19 varsity teams with 673 total athletes, meaning roughly two-thirds of the 1,012 students participate in varsity athletics. The university awards $7.7 million in athletic scholarships annually, demonstrating significant investment in sports programs. Reinhardt competes in the Appalachian Athletic Conference against regional rivals like Truett McConnell and Point University. The school has built a reputation for competitive basketball and soccer programs. With 54.9% male enrollment, the gender balance reflects the substantial athletic participation across campus. The high percentage of student-athletes creates a sports-focused culture where games and athletic events play a central role in campus life.
